Exclamation R129 Rear Seat Set - 500SL, SL500

If I find the ideal car to buy, but without rear seats, is it possible to retro-fit them ?

I've seen that the horizontal seat section lifts out as one piece very easily and the backrests are thin panels just attached with hinges + catches.
It looks like it should be a reasonably straightforward job.
Or is that just wishful thinking ??

Any help or advice much appreciated.

There is presently a set of R129 back seats (black) for sale on Australian eBay. The seller has about 8 photos of the bits & pieces that are included. This should help you get a better idea of whats involved in retro fitting them. It doesnt look too hard
